Photography Roundup - 10/11

Summary of photo news, the latest contests, and more

October, no matter where we sit in the world, brings a new season. In the north, we're finally starting to experience fall. In the south, winter is over. Regardless of where you call home, this is a great time of year to take photos. Check out the articles and shots we're sharing this week for some great inspiration.

Good Reads

There's a lot of good photography in our Good Reads section this week. We also found some articles with great tips about food and pet photography. We hope this helps improve your photography as well as inform and entertain you.

Interesting Kickstarter

Pakpod: Tripod with Ninja Feet

This week we look at an interesting Kickstarter for a light-duty tripod, the Pakpod: Tripod with Ninja Feet. Pakpod is a light, compact, and travel-friendly tripod suitable for small cameras (such as the Q). It can be affixed, staked, hung, or in other ways attached to places most tripods can't affix. It has a clever foot mechanism with a spiked 'toe' that articulates and swaps out for different tasks. The arm extension mechanism is also quite clever.

As always, Pentax Forusm neither endorses nor supports the Kickstarter product or createros we feature, nor do we have any relationship with them. We share these projects to keep out forum members abreast of cutting-edge photography gear development.
